THE MAU NEWS SATURDAY, MAY 9, J 908 No Prohibition for Washington. WASHINGTON, D. C, April 7 In a ppirited address before the Baltimore annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Hamlinne Church this morning Representative Sims of Tennessee declared it to be his belief that his bill for prohibition in tin" District of Columbia has little chance for passage at this session of Congress. "Do you expert," he asked, "a bill of such a nature to come from a committee - of seventeen men gathered -from so many parts of the country? One ij from San Fran cisco and others from Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Columbus, Evansville, Boston, New York, and Philadelphia. " I mean no re flection upon any one of the mem bers, but we know prohibition does not receive even decent treatment in any of these cities. "Cne of the members of thecom mittce alone has twenty-six dis tilleries within the confin-8 of his district, and others know that they would not last twenty minutes, if they stood for prohibition here. "We are, so far as I can sec, in the present condition, 'up against it.' " Here the speaker paused and, raising his hand, declared: "But one little committee in one Congress must flot hinder this great work." The ministers of the conference at this juncture gave the represen tative an ovation. He then de clared that the temperance leaders are willing to take a next best law if they are unable to get the best law, but, in speaking of the liquor interests, he said: "They don't want anything of the sort." He then said the liquor traffic is the greatest "character-destroying and criminal making business" in the country. "The effort for its eradication," he continued, "is not confined to this ten square miles of the Dia tnct of Columbia. But I want to Bay that the friends of the saloon are marshaling their forces from all parts of the United States. They do not want any legislation against the liquor interests at the capital city of 'the nation. Two ministers of the city are opposed to the bill as' presented. Thev have appeared before the committee' and given their reasons. Mr. Sinis then declared that the claim has been made in some quarters that the ' conditions in Washington are ideal and said: "I say give us conditions that will follow our legislation." In speaking of the temperance movement and its results, he said "I do n'ot'regard it as a wave. It has come to stay. Today there are not better agencies at work for the advancement' bf this cause than the forces that'a-re united. Not the least of these'are W."C1'T. 'V. and the Anti-Saloon League, but above all the members of the Christian churches." " r" 1 Handy (laps made for Campaign Through a suggestion made by Chief Clerk Llciyd Conkling of the Secretary's office the politicians of the Territory'will be provided with , maps which should be of great ser vice to them in the coming cam Damn. burvevor -wall is now working ofl" the matter and will soon have it in shape. Conkling suggested the making of maps of the different islands, showing tu ' election district, the polling place and all the political subdivisions, These will be made on the scale of 20.000 feet to the inch in the case of the islands of Oahu, Maui am Kauai, while Hawaii will be on scale of 80,000 or 40,000 to the inc to make it the same si.e as th other maps.

A parallel between incidents 'in the life of Abraham Lincoln and Ross. Freeman as drawn today in ti dure Bretano's court by Attorney Quiii O'Brii n. who is defending the '"sleep walking" huriflar. An istnnee of epilepsy of Lincoln milar in many of its details to the inexplicable etu'e-jsy of vounu Freeman will be read to the jury by the defendant's attorney. At torney O'Brien went into court rined with a half-dozen biogra phies of the statesman. It is a strange coincidence," said Attorney O'Brien, "that Free man's act and the similar occur rence in the life of Lincoln should both occur on January 1. Lincoln was an epileptic and several times consulted Dr. Drake, at that time famous specialist. In one of his letters he declared that he was fraid to carry a pocket knife. ' On January 1, 1841, Lincoln as to marry Alary lodd. He wandered away and got lost. The guests at the wedding, after wait- ng until late at night organized searching parties and hunted through the country. "He was not found until the next morning and he was then dis covered in the rear room of a gro cery of which he had forced the oor. He was sitting among the boxes and bags staring into space ith widc""pen, unseeing eyes. He was unconscious for three days and was under medical treament for three months. During all that time they kept instruments away om hire. You will find reference to this incident in the lives of Lincoln by Merndon, Weeks and Nicholay and Hay." Mrs. Mary Freeman, the boy's mother, was the first witness of the morning. She told of an incident when her son was found in the inning room of their home and broken dishes and lighting matchei and averred he knew nothing of it ater when he awoke. The earlier happenings of the same evening were tola by Ker- ard llendeen a fellow employe at the Crane company who had been at a billiard match with Freeman. He told of an attack of somnam bulism which occurred at Van Buren and Clark Ftreet. Dr. Archibald Church, an expert in nervous diseases, was called as a witness for the defense, and after listening to a hypothetical question putto him by Attorney O'Brien and covering the entire career of Free man, he answered it in part, say ing that "while au examination of Freeman disclosed nothing un usual or abnormal, the action of breaking into the saloon as it was described in the hypothetical ques tion was entirely within reason in consideration of the other citcum stances stated.'' "I don't know how much con consciousness a man has under those conditions, " added Dr, Church, "but it is well proved that he has no control over his acts," Whenosked iv there are any well authenticated cases ' of great men who have been subject to epilepsy; Dr. Church said: ''Yes Napoleon was subject to epilepsy so was Julius Caesar, mere are men now in public life who arej-e ported to be auncted the same way."

As a result f a fire which started early this afternoon at the Standard Oil Com pany's storage tanks, ' Miss Ella Giblwt, a church deaconness, is dead and L. J. Worsley lies at the city hospital fatally burned. A sullen boom which ya8 heard at 1 : 30 marked the explosion of the first large oil tank. Worsley was a driver of the delivery wagon from which the tire communicated to the tanks and was hurled many yards from the spot and was picked up with his clothing ablaze. The fire spread immediately to the tanks, hich instantly became a mass of flame. The . Sells-Floto circus, three blocks distant, was about ' to open for the afternoon performance. The herd 'of elephants' became uncon trollable and they dashed to the East Side of town, knocking down nces, outhouses and despoiling or- hards that lay in their path. Many persons narrowly escaped the in furiated animals. The leader of the herd changed his course and entered the center of the city, one mile distant. He en tered the court of the Glcmvood Hdtei,one of the famous hostel ries f ,tte boast. Mrs GUbs was in the Ltdin front of the banseiThc lepiiantBjnneci : her against the house between his tusks, threw tier to tne ground and trampiert-Tipqj her, crushing her chest and inflict ing fatal injuries. The animal then proceeded to the courtyard, the guests rushing panic tricken, indoors. D. P. Chapman, a guest of the house, attempted to swerve the animal from the court. He was knocked down and had several ribs broken and was other wise injured1. The beast crashed through the door, walked through the barlier shop and out onto Main street, crossed Hie street and crashed through the heavy plate glass win dow in a store. Before being rounded up at t lown-town public stable, the aninia trampled on another man and seriously gored him with his ' tusks One of the keepers attempted to subdue the animal but was hurled over a high fence, sustaining pain ful injuries. Not until four other elephants were brought to the stable was the huge beast gotten under control and taken to the circus grounds. The keeper of the elephants whose name is not known, was the means of saving at least two' lives before the big brute was again under j control. At Orange and Seventh streets the elephant had thrown Frank A. Birl and was alwut to crush him with his full weight, when the keeper came up close 1h hind and fired three shots from a revolver into the elephant's neck. This caused the big beast to swerve around, his attention being dis tracted from his intended victim. In the meantime, however, Bird had sustained a broken leg and other injuries. The left trousers leg of the keeper was ripped wide open by the in furiated beast and the leg was pain fully lacerated. The flesh from the keeper's right hand also wad skinned away. ....... At the Glcmvood Hotel Eva Howe, guest, was sitting in a swinj?, J when the infuriated I w a -t made Cull I at her. She was al -lit to II' i-, win n I the elephant's keeper, who wa flose behind, advised her to sit still. As a result the elephant rushed by her without molesting her. EDMUND 11.
